PK Alex Spence of West Florence was offered by Clemson Friday during camp and he committed to the Tigers. Clemson was the first major program to offer Spence. Spence said he met with head coach Dabo Swinney in his office and the Tigers' head man made the offer. “We sat down in there and they said they liked me as a kicker and they liked my character and they wanted me on the team," Spence said. “He was telling me that he wanted me on his team, and I let him finish. I said, ‘Well, coach, there is no place I would rather be than here’ and I committed. I am on top of the world right now.” Last season Spence was 11 of 13 on field goals with a long of 47 yards, and he was 50-54 on extra points. 42 of his kickoffs went for touchbacks, and he averaged over 39 yards per punt. He's Clemson's 11th commitment for the 2014 class.
